Topps (Chrome / Overtime Elite) · Collectibles & Antiques > Trading Cards
Era / Decade
2023-2024 (Current Modern Era). Identifiable by the Topps Chrome 2023-24 set design and RWE (Overtime Elite) team branding.
Material
Chromium cardstock with a refractive liquid-style finish. High-quality metallic finish synonymous with Topps Chrome products.
Condition
Very Good. The surface appears clean, but the centering is slightly shifted to the left and there is a visible soft corner on the bottom right. Resale value would increase significantly if graded PSA 10, but current raw state shows minor edge wear.
Demand Level
Moderate to Niche. Overtime Elite (OTE) cards have a smaller market than the NBA, but Jayden Wilkins is a prospect with a following. Demand fluctuates based on his game stats.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
Low: $1.00 | Mid: $5.00 | High: $15.00 (High end assumes a graded PSA 10 or a spike in player performance).
Estimated Retail Value
$3.00 - $5.00 (Price per single hobby pack it was pulled from).
Comparable Sales
Recent eBay sales for standard base Chrome OTE cards of this tier range from $0.50 to $2.00. Aqua/Blue parallels typically command a $3.00 to $8.00 premium depending on the player's draft stock.
